Morphology
non-engagement = engagement (transparent) = non + engage + ment
The prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates the noun 'engagement', yielding 'lack of participation'.
Etymology
Non-engagement breaks into non- meaning 'not' and engage meaning 'to take part' or 'join in', like engagement used for a promise to marry. So non-engagement means 'not taking part' or pulling away from group activities, which is why we use it for people who do not join events or projects.
